Hello, <br /> <br />I have another question somehow related to the same topic. (Is it o.k. to issue that here, instead of creating a new topic-thread ?) <br />I'll try.. <br />I have just experimented with MT permanent magned uncouplers of the "under-the-track" type. As I understand it they come only i HO size ? I therefore cut mine in 3 parts. 2 bits resembling the original HO-proportions, and one bit of waste material. (otherwise they would be very long) <br /> <br />When I have put a magnet into my "cut-out" in the baseboard and tried with some cars, they will not uncouple at all. <br />The magnets also seem a bit strange when I test their "attraction" and <br />"repellation." <br />Are they destroyed in the cutting process ? Do they have to <br />be remagnitized, or it is just the couplers that have to be adjusted. <br /> <br />Please help me, or direct me to a proper FAQ. <br /> <br />regards, <br />Björn <br />(Europeans are more used to RAPIDO, as you know....)
